RE: I enjoyed the Gettysburg Address yesterday!
The various speeches at Gettysburg were billed as and each delivered for hallowing only the Federal soldiers and not any dead men from the South. In a few years, decoration day was then set in motion by general Logan's orders as only to commemorate the Federal dead and not the South. I'm guessing the South developed their own later traditions and holiday to commemorate their fallen?
